Well, after midnight the watch rolls to Sunday, and if the clock is then turned back before 0100, it will appear to be just after 11pm - on a Sunday. Later, the watch will see another midnight in an hour's time, and the watch will then think it is Monday as the calendar has not been changed when the clock was put back an hour. I think that is why clocks generally change at 0200, to allow a comfortable buffer of one hour, to avoid this sort of calendar rollover problem in today's working modern society.
^ Ah, gotcha! Mind you, my watch don't show what day it is. It only shows hours and minutes, so what you said wouldn't do what you said it would when you said it would in terms of my watch.
I agree but in the opposite direction. We should just stick with DST year-round. I haven't seen the latest power load curves, of course, but the idea is less about lowering power consumption than about manipulating the times at which high consumption occurs (dinner, for instance) in order to lower peak consumption. Power stations can be more efficient with a flatter load curve.
Really? That's the one thing I do like about it. Now I can go to bed even earlier, and in turn, get up even earlier--which, I guess doesn't make much of a difference, since I wake up automatically at 5am every day anyway, but still....
Since I'm a night person, I love Standard Time because it gets darker sooner, but I love Daylights Savings Time because it stays darker in the morning longer. I hate having it bright at 6am. (No, I'm not boarding up the windows ) When I had a full-time job (resisting comment on previous administration), I preferred having the morning commute when it was darker. --Ted
Ah yes, the only day in the year we have a 25 hour day instead of the usual 24. I don't have anything special planned, but I was thinking how awesome in would be for the series 24 to take place on a Sunday, and when you have the countdown clock, it resets itself to 1:00 AM instead of 2:00 AM.
I've tried that the bar tenders, waitresses, and bouncers all what to go home so they kick us out at 2:30, they don't buy that line.,
